Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can this backboard be used outdoors?

Yes! The aluminum frame is rust-resistant, making it more suitable for outdoor use than traditional steel-framed backboards. However, to maximize longevity, it’s best installed in a protected environment, such as a covered court or area with minimal exposure to extreme weather.

2. Does this backboard come with a rim?

No, this backboard does not include a rim. You’ll need to purchase a compatible rim separately. The 5” x 5” mounting pattern and standard rim hole spacing ensure that most regulation rims will fit without an issue.

3. Is this backboard shatterproof?

While it’s built for high durability and can withstand up to 900 lbs of pressure, it is still made of glass and should be treated with care. It’s designed to handle competitive play, but excessive force or improper installation could still cause damage.
